White has to play b4 first and only then a4, in order to avoid black blocking with a5
First of all, it should be clear from the beginning which direction the pawn go. I thought the black pawns would go downwards, white pawns upwards.
Agree. It would be helpful to have the rank numbers and file letters on the board. If you saw that the eighth rank was actually at the bottom of the board it would be obvious.
I do add a small square next to the board with white or black to indicate whose side we are visiting the board from. The board also has rank and file numbers present there but I guess it is too small and not clearly visible. Thanks for the feedback. I will see how I can address this 🙂
This could have been used as an example in the chapter "Do Not Hurry" of the book Endgame Strategy by Mikhail Shereshevsky. Having read this book, I might have played 1…a6! in this position, even though I mistakenly thought that 1…K×d5 was winning.
I saw this one quite easily.
Please keep More like this I will support u
Nice change of pace from the puzzles. Not that i dislike the puzzles ofc
Thanks for that. Your end games always LOOK simple but are really challenging.
It's a very instructive study. I felt your "plans for Black" bit missed the most immediate threat. If it were Black to move in the initial position, wouldn't 1. ...g3 draw immediately, because White's pawn would be doomed (unless White played 2. f3, which would immediately lose)? My initial thought was therefore 1. Be2 to control the f3 and g4 squares, but that fails to 1. ...Kf4 and 2. ...g3, and that's when I came to the same conclusion as you - that the Bf1-Bg2 manoeuvre is necessary.
Oh yes g3 is an immediate threat too. I just assumed g3 Kf4 would be a transportation. Good catch! ☺️
Lovely selection and elucidation. These simple-looking endgame situations bring out a pattern at the end that then guides the initial moves in all variations but non-experts cannot directly visualize the pattern so we have to muddle through the possibilities and then deduce the clinching position where the game can be a win for White instead of a draw. At some point in future it would be nice to have a 10-min summary video of 3 or 5 King pawn ending patterns that have been covered so far.
At 7:35 in the video, Q-c3 isn't mate immediately, black has b2 to block (only legal move, in fact), then Qxb2 mate. Minor clarification.
I don't understand any of this. Ra1+, followed by Rxa7, followed by Re7, blacks king cant get over to protect the pawn, so rook takes pawn next move, with an easy win following.
Ra1+ Kb3 Rxa7 Kc3 Re7 Kd3 and black queens the pawn or white rook keeps giving check to stop the queening and it's a draw. Ra1+ does not work in this position
I think you overcomplicated this. Why Bishop e7? Why not Bishop d6 taking pawn. If king takes Bishop advance Pawn, if not move Bishop to b8 then pawn to a7 and they protect each other. You have all day to take the other pawn with King and then come up to force king away and queen the pawn. Seems faster and easier than the way you did it. But I am a less than average chess player, so I’m sure I am missing something.
After 1. b6 axb6 2. a6 Kc6 If 3. Bxd6 then Black plays 3. ... b5 4. Bb8 Kb6 5. a7 Kb7 and Black's King will not let go of control of a8 square resulting in a draw through stalemate soon
Oh I get it, because my king cant force his out of the corner. Ok, thank you for your reply. I appreciate your tutorials. I told you I was less than an average player!
My 1500 elo ass : draw take it or leave it
😂😂😂
I was wondering what was wrong with taking the black pawn as it moved forward (either directly or en passant), then I realised it lead to a stalemate.
after black plays b5 white could take en passant I presume.
Depending on the position that would work too. We just have to make sure black doesn't run out of moves to make in that scenario
Ba1
Yes! 🙌🏻 What's the second move in the sequence though?
I don't even have to see it. The answer is no I would lose of course. My endgames are utter garbo.
Cool puzzle. I figured on Bishop to a1, but I had to count moves from there. I thought at first Kc1 Was The better option, but when I played it out in my head, I saw the problem. So I did solve it even though it wasn't intuitively my first instinct.
Might have been an idea to show what happens if black underpromotes to a knight.
The longest line I can think of after underpromotion to a knight would be. a1=N+ Kc3 Nc2 Qf5 (pinning the knight) Ka2 Kxc2 Ka1 (or Ka3) Qa5#
When i played it against the computer he promoted to knight.
knight prolongs it, but probably can't even draw it.
@@landen99 By only one extra move. As Queen to F5 will pin the knight and he has to move the knig away so that you take the knight WITH YOUR KING in case that king move was to A1!
Makes sense because it prolongs the game and computers don't concede. It is a check, so white goes Kc3 or someplace to avoid further checks. Queen versus knight is an easy win for white by several strategies.
The longest line I can think of after underpromotion to a knight would be. a1=N+ Kc3 Nc2 Qf5 (pinning the knight) Ka2 Kxc2 Ka1 (or Ka3) Qa5#
Easy. When black does not capture the bishop with the pawn and queens this is a nice variation. 1. Ba1 b5 2. c6 b4 3. c7 b3 4. c8=Q b2 5. Qf5+ Kxa1 6. Qe5 Kb1 7. Qe1# {White mates} 1-0
That is actually a beautiful variation. Qe5 pins the b2 pawn which forces Black to move into a checkmate nearly smothered by his own pawns.
Got it. But only examined White K to c2 and saw that it wins; did not see that K to c1 is a bad move.
Can i block a channel?
It’s Labor Day and you’re working! Enjoy the day.😊
Very easy!😊
I want to say before watching: at first it's hard to find the best shot for *blacks* :-)
Great video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Lots of ways to win this...🧐
I thought so too when I looked at the position for the first time. Surprisingly there's only one!
My plan was to go directly after the black pawn and then Queen my pawn, and it worked. I did not see the black kings plan, so very good video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What software/app do you use for the studies?
I solved it easily but I didn't see that there was a second solution.
It was easy. As we know, Square rule is the only solution. So I tried blocking the king. It worked.
Did you try it by underpromating to a rook?
I would think this would still lead to a draw irrespective of the extra pawn for black or not. Rook will not be powerful enough to stop the king and pawn
1.d6 is the oldest trick in pawn endgames and obviously wins. But I spent some time to figure out how 1.f5 Kc5 2.f6 wouldn't win. After a minute or two, I concluded that it absolutely wins as well and I was right. A proper title would be "Can you not win this endgame as white".
Video could've been 2 minutes total to get to the point.
Thank you I guess you are slipping that is the 1st one of your puzzles I have ever solved. If you are average I better go back to checkers
Hahaha 🤣
I actually figured one out! Almost immediately. :D Pawn to d6.. Black is forced to take and the pawn will be in the king's way, preventing him from catching the f-pawn. I did not see how starting with the f-pawn could also win.
Good solving! 🙌🏻
Very nice! I found the d6 win as you described. I missed the point that with pawns on d5 and f6 the Black king on d6 is blockaded from the e file, and can't take the d-pawn but has to go round via the 8th rank. That gives White time to bring up their king.
Sorry , your guidlines are bad. Why should follow Black your thinkig ? at 2:32 we saw a draw, black will move only on b-Line and white only on d-Line .
Because that position is a draw, white should not play Kd6 but rather Kf6 as the first move and move along the f file
What about B e5
if you meant Bf5, it does not work in this position.
It was e6 my mistake
Not an endgame study. A theoretical endgame: rook and pawn vs bishop.
End game is a vast subject, full of theory ... Even grand masters , also did mistakes in the endgames!!! Hence i request you to provide us more endgame puzzles, until we become comfortable with all the important endgame positions! Thanks once again for your excellent videos on endgames! ,🙏🙏🙏
swiss cheese, i lost track of all the errors
With your final solution, what if you took one move near the end to move your bishop to H5? The black king is too far away to interfere with the pawn, and you could preserve your bishop. Do I read that wrong?
You could preserve the bishop. I guess I gave up the bishop, because I find it easier to just use a king and queen vs king to checkmate. Pretty much auto pilot at that point and not worry about any accidental stalemate.
Good addition to the series of endgame videos. For better grasp of the first middle game position context, showing the moves from the beginning to that first position being analyzed would have helped, adding a few seconds of animation. Also add maybe the move listing and mention the opening variation name.
you talk too much
I like the new type of content, so please make more of these. One suggestion: you should wait a couple of seconds after saying "pause the video" so viewers have a chance to do that. I went for the pause button but you'd already started saying what the next move was before I got there!
Thanks for the feedback. Will do! Glad you like it 😁
K to b 4 ?
Kb4 here unfortunately results in a draw. The only move that works here has to directly contest the black king for opposition and square control
I saw the first two moves and the general thought process! Not bad for a Sunday morning.😊
